wedge
The first month of the third year of Zhenguan
The cold wind cut like a knife on the people who came and went.
Liu Hai shivered coldly, he squatted on the ground and curled up in a ball, looking at the steaming cake shop in front of him, and swallowed desperately.
He hadn't eaten in two days, and his eyes were black.
But even his own eldest brother disliked his weak character and forcibly kicked him out of the house, who would be willing to give him charity?
For example, if it is not completely settled today, no one's life is good, and they can't even beg for food.
Liu Hai's eyes were a little anxious, he had a bad life, even if he starved to death on the street tomorrow, it was not surprising.
But Ayu...
Thinking of Ayu, Bang Hai's face softened a lot.
Ayu is a good girl, thinking about the vow of marriage with her fingers, despite the opposition of her family, she ran out with her.
Even if she doesn't have anything to eat, she has to live well.
Bangs stood up, and after stopping the dizziness, he slowly walked towards the place where the steamed cake shop was.
The boss had been staring at him vigilantly for a long time, Liu Hai was notoriously unlearned, and he usually didn't do good things, and he must not have a penny on him at this time, otherwise he would have come over to steam cakes with a shy face.
It's not easy for anyone these days, even his eldest brother kicked him out a few days ago, he has no relationship with Liu Hai, but he doesn't have so much leisure, and there are many people begging.
Liu Hai made up his mind that if the boss didn't give it today, he would have to grab one if he went out, and he would definitely pay it back in the future.
"Boss, please give me a steamed cake, I don't want more, just one, Ayu... I haven't eaten for two days. ”
Bangs licked her lips and stared greedily at the steamed cake.
The boss covered the cloth and covered the steamed cakes.
He moved to the side, blocking the view of his bangs, and his face was not good.
"I said Haiwazi, you are standing next to our shop, how else can we do business? If you want to beg for food, go to your eldest brother's house, he is your own brother, how can he ignore you? ”
Bangs' face darkened, if his eldest brother was willing to give him food, why did he fall to this? How could Ayu be so hungry that he couldn't even walk, now as long as anyone can give him some food, he will be willing to do anything.
Thinking of Ayu, Bangs, who had already retreated, withdrew his feet that had taken a step back, and tried to stand up straight and look at the boss.
"Boss, I don't take your steamed cakes for nothing. I'll do the work for you, and I can do whatever I want, just give me a steamed cake. ”
The impatience on the boss's face is a little less, as long as it is not for nothing, this matter is still debatable.
But after looking at the bangs, he shook his head again and pushed the bangs hard, what can this guy do?
Bangs was caught off guard and pushed to the ground, he frowned and covered his forehead, and couldn't raise his head for a long time.
It's not that Bangs doesn't want to get up, it's just that he's too hungry now, he has no strength and is dizzy.
The boss had a little weakness on his face, but seeing that he hadn't gotten up, his face was a little more reasonable. What can bangs do now, maybe they will blackmail themselves.
The mother-in-law who sold Hu Fan next to her couldn't stand it, she hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and helped her bangs up.
"I said Zhang Lao Er, Haiwazi said to help you work for steamed cakes, if you don't give it, forget it, why do you still push others?"
"If I help him, our family will starve to death. Granny Wang, you are kind-hearted, why don't you give him food? ”
Zhang Lao Er spat and looked at his bangs with disdain.
When Wang Po heard this, she was speechless, and none of their people had any surplus food these days. After helping Bangs, her family had to be hungry, and she felt a little guilty in her eyes, but she still let go of her hand.
Liu Hai took a deep breath, stood up with his body propped up, he bowed to Wang Po, turned around and left.
Wang Po has a good heart, and he is embarrassed to embarrass the family.
In the whole West Market, he couldn't believe that he couldn't find a shop willing to give him food. Even if he doesn't want to give up this life today, he has to let Ayu eat, although he used to be a fool and didn't learn anything, but now he should take on his own responsibility.
However, seeing the yellow and thin appearance of bangs, the bosses in the food shop all drove him away, and no one was willing to help him.
Bangs squatted lonely on the corner of the street, staring straight at the crowd coming and going, and felt a chill in his heart.
Do you still want to go back empty-handed today?
Suddenly, a dirty little hand reached out in front of him, and there was a steamed cake in his hand, but the steamed cake no longer had any heat, and the skin was still dirty and could not see the original color.
Liu Hai turned his head hesitantly, only to see a young flower who couldn't see his age looking at him timidly.
There was obvious reluctance in his eyes, but his hand was kept straight.
"Big brother, I was looking at you just now, are you hungry? This is for you, and you will have strength after eating. ”
Bangs swallowed desperately, looking at the already dirty little screaming flower, although he was a little hesitant, he still reached out and touched the stiff hair of the little screaming flower.
"Big brother can't ask for your things, if I take it, what will you do? You might as well save it and eat it slowly. ”
Liu Hai was moved in his heart, but he didn't expect that the person who was willing to help him at this time turned out to be a little flower who was in danger.
Xiao Hua'er was obviously a little injured, and he quickly withdrew his hand and dodged Bangs' hand.
"If you don't want it, forget it."
Seeing that he was a little angry, Liu Hai opened his mouth and wanted to say something to thank him, but he still didn't say it, so he could only stretch out his hand to Xiaohua'er. Thinking of Ayu, who was still waiting for him at home, Liu Hai didn't have time to think about the shame in his heart.
Xiao Yuhua'er was obviously stunned by his actions, and saw that although the bangs were thin but slightly delicate, there was a look on his face that could not be ignored, so he still put the steamed cake back in his hand.
Liu Hai smiled gratefully and said while holding the steamed cake.
"I borrowed this steamed cake from you, and I will definitely pay it back."
After speaking, he glanced deeply at Xiao Yuhua'er, wrote down his appearance and height, and then walked home with the steamed cake.
Liu Hai endured hunger all the way and didn't look at the steamed cake in his hand, and happily walked home with the steamed cake.
Directly across from him were several men, the one in the center dressed in gorgeous clothes and snuggled up to a petite woman in his arms. The woman's face was wrapped in the man's arms, and she couldn't see her face clearly.
But she is also very delicately dressed, and she is favored at first sight.
Liu Hai looked at the man with some envy, when he could be so rich, he would be able to let Ayu live a good life.
Bangs retracted his eyes, holding the steamed cake and wanted to go back.
When he missed the group, the woman just showed her face and glanced at him. After meeting the eyes, the woman quickly hid her face back in, but with just one glance, the bangs were already recognized.
Liu Hai was stunned, and the steamed cake in his hand suddenly fell.
"Ayu..."
The man holding Ayu heard him speak, his expression was a little puzzled at first, and then he suddenly turned his head and looked at his bangs with a smile in his eyes.
"You're Ayu's unproductive fiancé, right? Ayu will be my concubine in the future, don't look for her in the future! ”
Bangs didn't seem to hear it, he trembled with his hands and wanted to walk over and pull Ayu out, but he was stopped by others on the periphery, and even kicked him to the ground.
"Ayu, I will definitely be good to you in the future, don't go with anyone..."
Bangs didn't know where the strength came from, he hit the man's servant hard while leaning towards Ayu.
But if he punches someone once, he will take several punches in his body. The bangs were almost forced to not fall, his eyes stared at Ayu without blinking, and he never left for half a minute.
"Ayu, look, I also got steamed cakes back, I won't let you starve Ayu... Please, I only have you! ”
"Heh, joke, how can you bear to let Ayu eat this kind of thing with you? Even our dog eats better than that. ”
The man scoffed at Bangs' actions, rudely pulled out Ayu in his arms, looked at her impatiently, pushed her hard, and hugged his hands on his chest.
"You can make it clear to him yourself, I, Lin Dachun, am not the kind of person who is difficult for strong people, don't trouble me."
Ayu bit her lip, glanced at the steamed cake that was already dirty on the ground, and then looked at the bangs that were already unstable on her feet, but she was still staring at her reluctant to blink, and her fingers trembled slightly.
A hint of complexity flashed in Ayu's eyes, she hesitated for a moment, but still walked a few steps in front of Liu Hai, staring at him condescendingly, her tone full of indifference.
"Brother Liu Hai, I'm sorry, you can't give me what I want!"
Liu Hai lost his mind for a while, and he couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of Ayu, who had always been gentle and considerate.
This caused him to lose his guard for a moment and was knocked to the ground by a punch.
But Liu Hai still quickly climbed a few steps forward, grabbed Ayu's skirt, and looked up from the bottom, Ayu was dressed exquisitely and was incredibly beautiful, this was the first time he had seen Ayu so beautiful.
This made him not know what to say for a while, so he could only stare at Ayu in a daze, but his hand slowly let go.
What's more, his eldest brother can kick himself out of the house, let alone just a fiancée who is even opposed by the family?
Everyone has their own aspirations, maybe that's what Ayu wants.
But the way he grabbed Ayu's skirt and didn't let it go angered Lin Dachun, who was already a little impatient.
He took a few quick steps and kicked bangs in the forehead.
Liu Hai only felt that his eyes were dark, and his hand could no longer grasp Ayu's skirt, and he fainted when his head was tilted.
Lin Dachun spat disdainfully, pulled Ayu, who was still a little worried in his eyes, and walked forward.
When they were out of sight, two men walked over from the side, and one of them crouched down and felt the pulse of his bangs.
"How?"
"I'm out of gas, throw it at a mass grave."
Looking at his companion's inquiring eyes, the man shook his head, and his face relaxed a lot for a moment.
"Finally, we don't have to keep an eye on him, we can go back and get back to life."
"But after all... Isn't it okay to throw it into a mass grave? ”
The other man asked tentatively, swallowing the words he wanted to speak.
The man impatiently picked up his bangs and walked in the direction of the mass grave, he didn't have the patience to spend any more.
"Throw it at a mass grave to get rid of our suspicion, don't ink!"
